Extraordinary Player

Chapter 28: Student, Please Go Back

Du Wei did not know how to continue the conversation. He had indeed asked Qin Guan to hit his face, but he had not expected for the young man to actually be able to do that…

Du Wei felt puzzled. Qin Guan’s speed was not especially fast, so how was he unable to dodge it?

Only Qin Guan himself knew that this was because of him training for an extended period of time in Map of Trials 2.

When he copied the actions from the illusion, he had to learn to instantly step forward to attack so that he could cut down more fruits. During his repeated attempts to copy the illusion, his overall skills had improved by a lot.

Right now, all his attacks and moves were executed instinctively, and they were all the simplest, most straightforward, fastest, and most effective attacks.

Du Wei might have much better physical attributes compared to Qin Guan, but he did not expect his attacks to be so difficult to handle.

He had thought that the students had never received any systematic martial arts training, so when they attacked, their movements would definitely be very amateurish. There was also a huge disparity between their strengths, so no matter what, it was impossible for any of them to break his defence.

Because of that, he could show off his skills before them and also prove the existence of spirits through it. This was how his plan was supposed to reach success.

However, Qin Guan’s attack had stunned him.

‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing?’

“That was a mistake on my part just now. Let’s do this again.” Du Wei forced himself to smile and took up a defensive position again.

He acted as if nothing had happened… but he was cursing in his heart. If he could not get his dignity back, he would not be able to conduct the meeting anymore… And then, he would not be able to complete the mission given by the organization…

This time, he focused his attention on Qin Guan’s movements. The light on his hands also became brighter.

Of course, Qin Guan was the only one who could see the ‘spirit’ on his hands when he focused his attention. The others could not see it for the time being.

‘So, do I hit his face, or do I not hit his face?’ Qin Guan wondered to himself.

‘He seems confident, so if I try not to embarrass him and put on a fake show, will he get mad? Ah well, since he asked for it…’

Qin Guan took a swift step forward again and went into the gap between Du Wei’s hands, just like what he did when he cut fruits in Map of Trials 2. From this position, he went straight for his face.

This time, Du Wei’s focus was much greater. He struck with his left hand and parried Qin Guan’s knife hand.

However, Qin Guan closed in on him again, swung his left hand, and went straight for Du Wei’s left rib.

Du Wei was shocked. He had thought that Qin Guan would try to hit his face again, but he actually went and changed his target?

But no matter what, Du Wei was someone who had received martial arts training before. He instinctively brought his right hand down and blocked Qin Guan’s left hand.

However, Qin Guan suddenly exerted more force, and while Du Wei was wide open, he rammed his head against the man’s forehead!

Smack!

The knock caused Du Wei’s body to sway a little. Qin Guan, however, took a few steps back, and there was a red spot on his head…

Since there was such a huge disparity in strength between the two of them, even if Du Wei stood still, allowing Qin Guan to hit him, he might not get hurt too badly.

However, it was already embarrassing enough for Qin Guan to hit his face…

Du Wei was stunned again. ‘What’s this? He’s not even attacking with set moves now?’

Du Wei looked at Qin Guan with a dumbfounded expression.

‘Are you toying with me…?’

Qin Guan looked very innocent while he rubbed his aching forehead. “You’re the one who asked me—”

“Alright, student, please go back to your seat.”

Du Wei felt resigned. If this happened the third time, even if he managed to block Qin Guan’s attack, he would not look convincing…

Besides, if he failed again, his reputation would be completely ruined…

Qin Guan changed back to his real body and sat down in his seat.

Du Wei pretended as if nothing had happened and explained, “You cannot see the spirit’s existence, but its effects are great. Let’s take what happened just now as an example. This student used every ounce of his strength to headbutt me, but I was fine. He, on the other hand, got hurt. This is because he doesn’t know how to use spirit power, while I used spirit power to protect my forehead…”

Qin Guan laughed in his heart. ‘I saw it, you know. You only used your spirit power on your hands. I didn’t manage to knock you down because the disparity in our physical attributes is just too great…’

But he did not say it. After all, it was difficult enough for the man who had come from somewhere far away to hold a meeting with them. If he embarrassed Du Wei too much, maybe he would make things hard for Qin Guan in the future…

Yet when Qin Guan thought about it, judging by the proceedings, he had a feeling that he was already on Du Wei’s blacklist…

“Perhaps the example just now is still not too straightforward. Let’s look at this table.”

To prove the existence of spirit power, Du Wei cut off a corner of a table with a Karate chop. The effect this time was much better—the students cried out in surprise.

Du Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead. ‘Thank goodness, I nearly screwed things up. If I really did it, how would I explain things to Director-General Zhao?

‘I, an investigator with great combat experience, had my butt handed to me by a student during a lecture? If this goes out, I might be laughed at by all my colleagues in the Parapsychology Association until the moment I retire…’

But Du Wei still cast Qin Guan a few glances. ‘I’ll remember you now, talented student…’

Even though a brief, unexpected interlude had happened, it did not affect Du Wei’s introduction of the association and the supernatural too much.

Once he proved that spirit power existed, he continued to explain the relationship between Transcended Gamers and the Parapsychology Association.

“The threshold to use spirit power was originally very high, and there were very few who could join the Parapsychology Association, but we noticed that Transcended Gamers seem to be naturally gifted with the ability to use spirit power.

“All of you possess the Second Sight attribute, which means that you should be able to see supernatural things. This was originally a very rare ability.

“You might still not understand the severity of this situation, however. Let me put it this way. This is a very powerful ability. It might allow you to contribute greatly to the country, but you might also cause great destruction.

“A person skilled in using spirit power can kill a normal person without any traces. In fact, even the medical world won’t be able to figure out why they died. And all of you are people who have this latent power. So, the Parapsychology Association must put restrictions on all of you, because if any of you walk on the wrong path, you might bring incredible damage to normal people.”

When Qin Guan heard this, some of his questions were answered.

Why was SS known as one of the three basic attributes along with STR and SPR?

Because SS allowed the player to see supernatural existences. In other words, it was the Transcender’s vision. No matter how strong one’s body was, if their vision was lacking, they would still draw the short end of the straw.

Why were some people’s levels and attributes naturally higher than the others once they became Transcended Gamers?

Because before the mobile AI systems appeared, they already possessed the ability to use spirit power. Once they completed the trial and obtained their new bodies, their spirit power was like a pair of wings given to a tiger. The gap between them and normal Transcended Gamers instantly grew into a wide ravine.

Du Wei looked at the class with a stern expression. “Everyone, please do not think that you can do whatever you wish now that you have become Transcenders. From the moment you became Transcenders, you were bound to the Parapsychology Association.”
